That's probably an idea best addressed in a broader forum, e.g. the developers' mailing list (dev@spamassassin.apache.org) or even the users' mailing list. (us...@spamassassin.apache.org) to get multiple brains working on it. Off the top of my head, I would definitely want a broader detection of *any* known-bad backend, so PostgreSQL at least should be detected as well. > I suspect there are a couple more folks out there like me that aren't in the > habit of re-reading all of the manpages for SpamAssassin every time our > distro pulls in a new release. The failure mode is pretty darn insidious. Yes, it is an issue that has hit the mailing list a couple of times. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
